Question
Use the following statement to answer questions 7 to 12.A luggage handler pulls a 20.0-kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at above the horizontal by a force of magnitude 140 N that acts parallel to the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the incline is 0.22. The suitcase travels 3.80 m along the ramp.7. Calculate the work done on the suitcase by the force. A. 532 J B. 200J C. 192J D. 350J
Solution
The work done on an object is calculated by the formula:
Work = Force x Distance x cos(θ)
In this case, the force (F) is 140 N, the distance (d) is 3.80 m, and the angle (θ) is 0 degrees because the force is parallel to the direction of motion.
So, the work done on the suitcase by the force is:
Work = 140 N x 3.80 m x cos(0)
Work = 532 J
So, the answer is A. 532 J.
